Little Oaken Tree

Little Oaken Tree

When you came you arrived as a stranger

In the way of a seed on the wind

Mother Earth keeping you out of danger

For a life that was yet to begin

Did you float to the ends of the ocean?

Did you learn all the stories of old?

You alight to the soil set in motion

Now it's time for your tale to be told

No matter where your boughs are bound to

I will be there to guide and ground you

No matter where your roots have found you

I will be there to watch you grow

In a flash all the world torn asunder

In a daze I awoke from the blue

In my arms was a bundle of wonder

In my eye was the apple of you

No matter where your boughs are bound to

I will be there to guide and ground you

No matter where your roots have found you

I will be there to watch you grow

Little oaken tree

You're safe here

I will tend your leaves

And make your way clear

Trepidation wanes

And growing pains

Disappear

My dear

No matter where your boughs are bound to

I will be there to guide and ground you

No matter where your roots have found you

I will be there to watch you grow

I will be there to watch you grow
